In science and engineering, it's unusual for innovation to come in one fell swoop. It's more often a painstaking plod through ...

Abstract: Recent advances in aerial robotics have enabled the use of multirotor vehicles for autonomous payload transportation. Resorting only to classical methods to reliably model a quadrotor ...

Abstract: A bridge crane system is an underactuated mechanical system with two degrees of freedom (DOF) and one control input. In this paper, the fixed-time stabilization control problem for this ...

In an approach reminiscent of the classic board game "Battleship," Stanford researchers have discovered a way to characterize the microscopic structure of everyday materials such as sand and concrete ...
